  • McConnell on Ukraine proxy war: "We haven’t lost a single American in this war. Most of the money that we spend, is spent on replenishing weapons, so it’s actually employing people here."[paraphrased]

  • Funny how living standards in the ex-soviet countries have improved considerably since joining the EU, but that has not been the case for the ones that chose to be kept under Russia's sphere of influence. 🤔

  • I would say most leftists (specially the libertarian type), are not on the side of Russia on this.

    Tankies have just been really loud with their mental gymnastics lately.

  • Russia invades a neighbour who dares to attempt to have stronger ties to the west.

    West supplies neighbour with weapons to defend itself.

    Tankies on Lemmy: "oh no, Russia is being oppressed"

  • Apps uninstalling themselves?

  • Does anyone have access to your machine (local or remote)? This sounds every odd.

  • This post knows where you're viewing it from (Lemmy doesn't proxy external images) [ARCHIVED]

    Jump

  • Thanks for the heads-up.

    Routing my Lemmy mobile app through orbot from now on. Seems to have fixed the issue.

  • What's some really unpopular opinion you have?

    Jump

  • The fact that you're getting downvoted means that you're on topic.

  • OpenAI finally admitted they're crawling the web to profit off of GPT. Block it from your sites using robots.txt.

    Jump

  • While that is true, it does divert peoples' clicks.

    Imagine you wrote a quality tech tutorial blog. Is it ok for OpenAI to take your content, train their models, and divert your previous readers away from your blog?

    It's an open ethical question that it's not straightforward to answer.

    EDIT: yes people also learn things and repost them. But the scale at which ChatGPT operates is unprecedented. We should probably let policy catch up. Otherwise we'll end up with the mess we currently have by letting Google and Facebook collect data for years without restrictions.

  • Which sites do you blacklist from your internet searches?

    Jump

  • In SearXNG you can redirect, or block domains (but you still need to define them). You need to enable the "Hostname replace" pluging in the setting.yaml

     
        
enabled_plugins:
  - 'Hostname replace'  # see hostname_replace configuration below

    And then define the rules like this:

     
        
hostname_replace:
#   My redirects
  '(.*\.)?reddit\.com$': 'old.reddit.com'
#   My filters
  'slant\.co': false
  'dailymail\.co\.uk': false

    Jump

  • Added to the filters. Thanks!

    I would already not click it when searching for news, might as well automate it.

  • Those ublock lists are interesting. Will definitely be stealing them for my searxng config.

    Thanks!

  • What are some good RSS feeds to subscribe to?

  • Tankies.

  • What's your favorite programming language and what about it do you like?

    Jump

  • By versatility, I'm also including the ecosystem. Julia doesn't seem to be anywhere near python on that.

    However, I've heard good things, it's on my to-do list.

  • What's your favorite programming language and what about it do you like?

    Jump

  • Python for its versatility.

    Rust for its strictness and speed.

  • Belgium also bans TikTok on government phones

    Jump

  • China to allow every US based social network when?

    Oh who am I kidding.

  • Are there any downsides / risks of selfhosting a tor snowflake instance?

    Jump

  • Thanks! I'll check with my vps provider.

    However, this proxy does not seem to be "within" the tor network itself, right? I'm just connecting someone to the first entry node on the system, correct?

    Would I be transmitting unencrypted data? In other words, would an outsider be able to tell that I'm transmitting something illegal to a person accessing tor?

    Jump

  • Thanks! Would you be able to elaborate a bit more?

    It was my understanding that this is not the same thing as running an exit node.

  • Interesting article about life for Uyghurs in Xinjiang and how one poet and filmmaker escaped persecution

    Jump

  • I love when tankies question the reliability of the witnesses, and then with the same breath post something from the Pyongyang Times.

  • China using families as 'hostages' to quash dissent abroad

    Jump

  • No, it started that way? Do you mean started to be more all encompassing?

    So, didn't the term come to describe people who support the USSR imperialist practices by rolling into countries with tanks?

    Anyone who has researched the USSR enough to cut through capitalist propaganda knows Russia is now a neolib-ish bourgeois democracy.

    Have you ever seen anything written by the average lemmy tankie? They will defend Russia because it's not the US.

    If the US invades a middle eastern country because of "terrorists", the true motive is oil (which I don't disagree with). But if Russia invades Ukraine because they could potentially become a competitor petrol state in Europe more aligned with the EU, then it's actually "nazis".
